Holiday paradise

We have just returned from a couple of weeks at this wonderful condo and cannot talk too highly of our experience.

From the very start Pam and Ian were great to deal with offering helpful suggestions and making our life easier.

My step son and I played golf most days , walking later in the afternoon... and what a great golf course for all abilities. We are both single figure handicaps but still found the back tees a great challenge.Pro shop and all at Tara were really friendly and we felt very much at home.

The condo has just about everything you would need and we were extremely comfortable.

We only had to walk down the stairs to the tennis court and then a few extra yards to the swimming pool, both of which were terrific.

We have stayed in a number of owners properties in recent years and never had a duff one... but this was cerainly one of the very best and we look forward to returning at some point.

Thanks to Pam and Ian for their hospitality.

Wonderful stay at Tara

of 5

We enjoyed a great 2 weeks in early December at this home from home condo on the Tara estate. The condo is very well equipped & we wanted for nothing during our stay. Extras such as beach chairs, golf trolleys and a well stocked bookcase were a bonus. The outside lanai was perfect for enjoying breakfast & watching the golfers on the 2nd hole. Facilities at Tara were excellent including the course, practice facilities, pool and clubhouse & everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming. The beaches of Anna Maria Island are fabulous, our favourites being Lido & Holmes beach. For the shoppers the outlet mall at Ellenton is only 10/15mins away & worth a visit to pick up some bargains. Finally, the info provided by Pam prior to arrival was comprehensive and the booking process very smooth. Only one negative...we weren't staying for longer!

Spent two weeks at this condo and it felt just like home. Everything you need is provided making it a comfortable stay. The owners Pam and Ian are fantastic to deal with. It was great to have their local knowledge of the area, saving us both time and money. The condo location could not be better. It is minutes to the grocery store, restaurants, and expressway. We played five different golf courses all within a few miles of the condo. The balcony has a nice view of the golf course and was a great quiet getaway for eating and relaxing. Thanks again Pam! - Paul & Torr

We stayed at this condo for 4 weeks and were delighted with the accommodation. It is well equipped and also has cable tv with excellent free on demand programmes. Community pool was quiet and immaculately clean. There are numerous quality golf courses in the locality charging low rates during the summer months.

We have already booked to return to this condo and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The owners are efficient and helpful throughout the booking process and do everything to ensure your stay is enjoyable.

My husband Bryce and I thoroughly enjoyed your lovely condo Pam and Ian...location was excellent...we enjoyed our daily walks around Tara...the condo was equipt with everything one could ask for when away from home...I loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings and especially the evenings overlooking the 2nd fairway. We would recommend this place to anyone..pool was great and a bbq was available most evenings for great steaks. We found a great bar not far call Brasher's where we had an awesome time for St. Patrick's Day...if you get a chance go..well worth it and alot of fun...also, Lakewood Ranch was a great place to go for wonderful pizza and the movie theatres. Thanks again Pam and Ian for you lovely place and making our vacation most memorable..Tara is wonderful! Bryce and Shelley Sibbic
